We evaluated the additional functionality in the larger Flynet Viewer Studio Solution and LegaSuite from Rocket Software. It was important that the chosen solution could be completely tailored to comply with the stringent styling of the DAF website and company brand. After another seamless evaluation period, it became apparent that Flynet was the obvious choice. Flynet would save us both time and capital in roll out. - Teun Kremers - Project Manager DAF (Trucks) DMS

Multi-threaded Robust Server that runs as a Standard Windows Service

A single Flynet server installation can support over 500 simultaneous clients (250 is recommended for high usage scenarios) at speeds which surpass the desktop equivalent solution. In addition, the multi-threaded core at the heart of the Flynet Viewer server platform ensures a minimum network footprint, unburdening heavily trafficked networks. Flynet Viewer server runs on Windows Server (2008, 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2 and on Azure).

The Flynet server code was never part of a desktop terminal emulator; from its origins it was designed to be a highly efficient multi-threaded server side core service. This means that Flynet Viewer can support more concurrent sessions on any given server configuration than any other browser delivered emulation solution.

Security

All Flynet Viewer communications made between the server and host are made over a telnet connection secured by a SSL/TLS wrapper. All Flynet Viewer communications made between the application server and the client are primarily conducted using WebSockets and where this is not supported HTTPs is used.

Supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v3.0 and TLS v1.0 SSL) encryption.

Provides SSL authentication using digital client certificates, user generated as well as third party. Standard authentication technology is built into Flynet Viewer.

Supports most off the shelf and proprietary IAM and SSO solutions with templates available for integration.

Comprehensive .NET API Library

Applications that utilize the Flynet Emulation service, such as the FVTerm Pure Web Terminal Emulator Web Application, do so with the Flynet ViewerLib .NET Application Programming Interface.

Flynet have strengthened the functionality and proven performance of the API through a decade of directly developing customer applications with the API, as well as creating application generators that leverage its power.
